Aquaplancton

Last weekend i mixed with water and decanted a sack of this in my wild
pond to reduce algae. I had a thriving shoal of tiny (1-2 cm long)
Golden Rudd fry. Three or four hundred probably.
The effect was devastating. Within three days most of them had died.
There was nothing in the instructions to suggest this compound is toxic
to really tiny fish. I am very depressed and extremely annoyed.
My guess is that the hungry fry ate it.

Phillip as the owner of www.myhealthykoi.com exclusive supplier of AQUAPLANCTON to North America I must object to your post. As it only ever been sold by the internet and I cannot see your name I doubt it was our product you were using. Also it is sold in bags not sacks. You do not decant it. We advise spreading the powder over the surface of the water. The only time we suggest mixing it with water is if you wish to pour it under any vegation like a lilly. The product has been sold for over twenty years and has never killed anything but aglae. It is 100% natural. Check out testimonials and press review at ww.myhealthykoi.com. I am sure you would have voiced yoru complaint to us directly if this was true so what are you trying to do here? I do hope people ignore this and check us out. Thanks
